DIRECTIONS

In a large bowl, combine shortening, butter and cocoa. Stir in sugar, eggs and vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; stir into egg mixture. Spread evenly over a well-greased 12-in. to 14-in. pizza pan. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes. Cool.
    In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth; spread over brownie crust. Drain the pineapple, reserving juice; dip banana slices in juice (then discard the juice). Arrange bananas, pineapple and strawberries over cream cheese layer; sprinkle with pecans. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate and butter; drizzle over top of pizza. Chill for 1 hour. Refrigerate any leftovers. Yield: 12 servings. Editor's Note: Purchased caramel or strawberry sauce may be substituted for the chocolate topping.
